Run Like A Girl: How Strong Women Make Happy Lives

The first time I ran more than 10 kilometers, I shocked myself. What else was I capable of? I opened my eyes and looked around. I became a writer, leaving a career in law behind. Years later, I decided to gather the stories of other women, to tell our collective story about the transformative impact of sports in women’s lives.

Part locker-room confidential, inspiring manifesto and personal memoir, Run Like A Girl is the voices of women sharing how the confidence they built participating in sports—whether it’s running or rock climbing, swimming or yoga—changed their lives in profound ways.
